              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Huehnerhoff
Photometric night with decent seeing first half improving into second half.
Again had problem PR1180 with NICFPS images creating odd blocks.  This
occurred with program PU02 image J0256_field4_test.0255.fits at UT11:43.
The user was in fs=8 mode, taking 30 second exposures.  Restarting ICS
seemed to clear the problem.
Also had the same problem as PR1188 where the dis slitviewer acted as
though the control key was always pressed.  Added to PR1188 audit trail.
